INTRODUCTION. 

This  compilation  is  designed,  primarily,  to  guide  the  librarians  of  large  general, 
scientific,  and  university  libraries  in  the  United  States  in  selecting  meteorological 
literature  for  their  collections.  It  is  also  intended  to  provide  a  ready  means  of  com- 
plying with  the  many  requests  received  by  the  Weather  Bureau  from  teachers,  stu- 
dents, and  others  for  the  titles  of  books  dealing  with  meteorology  and  its  several 
branches. 

While  there  is,  of  course,  room  for  much  difference  of  opinion  as  to  what  should 
be  included  in  a  list  of  about  one  hundred  and  fifty  works,  selected  from  many  thou- 
sand, the  present  compilation  is  the  fruit  of  several  years'  experience  in  dealing 
with  the  literature  of  this  subject,  and  will  probably  meet  the  requirements  of  the 
majority  of  American  readers  and  students.  Obviously,  the  limited  scope  of  the 
list  makes  it  necessary  to  exclude  a  great  many  important  memoirs  dealing  with 
special  topics  and  addressed  to  the  specialist  rather  than  the  general  student;  also  the 
innumerable  periodical  publications  recording  the  results  of  observations  at  meteoro- 
logical observatories  and  stations  throughout  the  world;  and  many  scientific  journals 
devoted  wholly  or  partly  to  meteorology. 

Lastly,  attention  is  called  to  the  much  more  extensive  bibliographical  informa- 
tion to  be  found  in  such  publications  as  the  annual  meteorological  volumes  of  the 
International  Catalogue  of  Scientific  Literature,  the  Royal  Society's  Catalogue  of 
Scientific  Papers  (a  meteorological  subject-index  to  which  is  in  preparation),  the 
annual  Kosmische  Physik  volume  of  the  Fortschritte  der  Physik,  and,  for  the  earlier 
literature  on  certain  branches,  the  Bibliography  of  Meteorology  published  by  the 
U.  S.  Signal  Office  in  1889-1891.
